BULLETIN    No.    74. 

May  1st,  1883. 


The  analyses  of  the  following  brands  of  the  National  Fertilizer 
Company's  goods,  viz : 

862.  Chittenden's  Complete  Fertilizer  for  Roots,  Potatoes 

and  Vegetables. 
864.  Chittenden's  Universal  Phosphate  and 
867.  Chittenden's  Complete  Manure  for  Grain, 

which  appeared  in  Bulletin  73  lately  issued  by  this  Station,  were 
made  on  samples  taken  at  their  works  near  Bridgeport  by  the 
Station  Agent  early  in  the  season. 

When  these  analyses  were  reported  to  the  manufacturers,  they 
at  once  stated  that  the  results  were  below  their  guaranteed  stan- 
dard, owing  as  it  proved  (by  an  analysis  at  this  Station),  to  an 
erroneous  representation  of  the  value  of  one  of  the  raw  materials 
used  in  compounding  these  goods.  They  further  stated  that  they 
should  re-manufacture  these  articles  and  desired  the  Station  to 
take  samples  and  make  analyses  of  these  brands  after  they  had 
been  improved  and  made  what  they  were  intended  to  be. 

New  samples  were  accordingly  taken,  but  by  a  misunderstand- 
ing these  were  not  analyzed  and  the  analyses  Nos.  862,  864  and 
867  were  published.  The  Director  hereby  recalls  these  analyses 
and  valuations  which  do  not  represent  the  goods  as  finished  and 
offered  for  sale,  and  requests  suspension  of  judgment  on  the 
composition  and  value  of  these  brands  of  the  National  Fertilizer 
Co.'s  manufacture  until  new  and  correct  analyses  shall  be  pub- 
lished.
